These are such cool shots, Will. I haven't been to a rodeo in decades and these shots brought back some great memories. Wish I could have seen the final takedown, following that second and third shot. All shots are great but the second and third shot may be my all time favorite TrenchMonkey shots (as they are that good and I love the subject matter). Simply awesome action sequence!

Dave

Wow, thanks David! Rope landed on the back for a "no time" in the last sequence. Very happy with
the D300 AF on the few I shot. Was at the far end by the holding pen and saw parents starting to head
on over my way...got the hell outta there, quick!

Will, I have heard really great things about the Nikon D300 (as well as the FF D700), and have considered both at various times. I have also noticed a lot of people selling off their Canon 50D shortly after purchase; some of them openly confessing that they are moving over to the D300. Unfortunately, I have way too much invested (just bought a 600 f/4 IS) in Canon to start buying Nikkor glass. But these pictures sure make a good argument to consider it!

Yup, pardner, HIF is not as easy to catch as one might think, but you got one.

Last spring I spent a couple of days at Rolex Kentucky, a major horse event, and captured four-feet-off-the-ground only a very few times.

Thanks Mark, that wasn't my intent of course....another unconscious bonus!

great shots Will
Long time ago I was a ringer (Cowhand to you lot) in FNQ (Far North Queensland). these guys were serious. Roping didnt enter into it. They would gallop flat strap along side a grown steer, lean out, grab the tail and jump off. The trick was then as your heels hit the ground, you were meant to jerk the steers tail sidewise and throw him off balance and then to sit on his head till someone helped you tie him up.
Me? I only tried it once, and the old hands were still laughing about my effort (I seemed to miss everything and cartwheeled for about 800 yards) when I left eighteen months later.
Needs you Will, with your modified Bushhawk to photograph. Then let them call you a sissy
